Press Release, July 11, 2006 BREAKING BENJAMIN’S DIARY OF JANE MAKES MAJOR RADIO IMPACT AND CONFIRM SUMMER TOUR

 DATE: JULY 11, 2006
FROM: TODD BRODGINSKI/MITCH SCHNIEDER/LIBBY HENRY
 

With their new single “The Diary Of Jane” making enormous strides at Modern Rock and Active Rock radio, platinum rockers BREAKING BENJAMIN have announced a headlining summer tour launching July 21 with a show at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia and wrapping August 30, back in their Wilkes-Barre, PA hometown.  BREAKING BENJAMIN will be joined on the road from July 21-August 30 by their guests Dropping Daylight and Evans Blue, and they will also perform at select shows with Staind.

The upcoming leg of dates precedes the August 8 street date for BREAKING BENJAMIN’s third and much-anticipated album PHOBIA (Hollywood Records).  “The Diary Of Jane” single is already #13 at Modern Rock and #6 at Active Rock.

The supernatural-themed “The Diary Of Jane” video–recently shot in New York at an old mansion–premiered on Yahoo Music and had 297,000 streams.  The song’s theme of romantic torment–“As I burn another page/As I look the other way/I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane”–is intensified by the band’s mix of hard-charging rock, sharp hooks and soaring vocals.

PHOBIA follows BREAKING BENJAMIN’s explosive platinum 2004 album WE ARE NOT ALONE, which produced a pair of compelling #1 rock hits, “So Cold” and “Sooner Or Later.”  Catch up with the guys–BEN BURNLEY, vocals/guitar; AARON FINK, guitar; MARK JAMES, bass; CHAD SZELIGA, drums–at www.breakingbenjamin.com
